The Ohio Crossover Athletics Most Improved Player Award is given to a player who has made significant strides in his game from the beginning of the AAU season to the end. These improvements are not only based on statistics, but also include the player's mental approach, intensity, and will to win that he brings to each and every game. I am proud to announce that the winner of the 2017 OCA 8th Grade Boys (Moore) Most Improved Player Award is Isaac Schuermann from IHM!

Isaac's play on both ends of the floor became more and more consistent as the season progressed. He was able to play both the point guard and shooting guard position this year and as he became more comfortable in our offense, his overall production really increased. He gained confidence through improved shot selection, shooting percentage and excellent passing which carried over on to the defensive end of the floor. Isaac also played a critical role at the top of our 1-3-1 zone defense which helped us win our last two tournaments. I'm excited to see Isaac continue to grow as a basketball player. Congratulations Isaac!
